TAKA: It has been the third time to perform in Thailand. I was very grateful to have the opportunity to cross over the border and the language barrier to perform on stage with Thai bands as well as sharing some great moments with Thai fans. Unfortunately this time our band drummer could not join the event but I promised next time the entire band members will come to Thailand to perform for sure. Thank you so much.

MASATO: It has been the third time to perform in Thailand. I was looking forward to have a chance to perform with Thai bands. I had an opportunity to see those 3 bands live performances and I could touch the love that every single fan has for Japanese bands, to be honest there performances were really great. Unfortunately this time our band drummer could not join this event so we had to invite other band drummer to performed but I think the live went well and everyone would be enjoy as always. We will try our best to spend more times with Thai fans next time, if we have a chance for holding live performance next time in Thailand we wish to see all of you again!

With those sweet words, will we have a chance to meet defspiral real soon? Stay tune!?
